    Thanks Sebastien, John.Xterra, Sahil Trehan. Great drive for the short time i was on it :). Did not go as i hoped. I managed to break my Front Endlink which then ripped my Axle boot completely off and could not continue. All part of the sport :). But should have it all fixed for the next one. 🙂

    Thank you @John.Xterra for this nice drive,
    Nice area with a few long ridges, a bit bumpy with all the grass it’s been a long time since we bonced like this in a drive …
    A part from one mechanical indicent, we had a good intermediate level drive with few stucks, every body drove well, it was a good drive. :drive:

    Interesting Friday 13th newbies drive this weekend. 😀

    We had a nice convoy of 12 cars, with Saif leading the drive across nice and technical dunes. The soft sand gave a little challenge to the new comers in the DO family but everybody did very well. :ymapplause:

    Thanks Bernardo for helping me sweeping the convoy. It was good fun despite some tricky recoveries.
    We surprisingly experienced 2 pop-outs at the end of the afternoon on the same car, but at different moments. A rear wheel pop-out is not that frequent and I believe it was a good learning for all to see how to fix the tire.

    See you next week on the sand for more fun. :drive:
